San Babila Church

The San Babila Church features a Neo-Romanesque facade designed by Paolo Cesa Bianchi, with a nave, two aisles, and multilobular semicircular apses.

The church's origins trace back to 801 AD, when Bishop Marolus brought relics of Saint Babylas from Antioch to Milan and established a sacred site.

The right aisle contains a venerated image of the Madonna, while the church houses a 2008 Zanin pipe organ used for liturgical services and concerts.

Located at Corso Monforte 1 in central Milan, the church stands near multiple transportation connections and remains open for religious ceremonies throughout the year.

The Column of the Lion stands before the church, possibly commemorating a Milanese victory against Venetians during the Visconti period of rule.
